Hi! Hi! So I backread and search about Jacob in this blog and I was immediately got a grenade throw in my face. What do you mean his headless in this blog??? That caught me off guard.
Anyways, I was back reading about related to Jacob to learn more about him since I remember what kind of preference he likes for a partner and he's starting to get to me! I can tolerate him being annoying and I love him for it nonetheless. Keith, Tenebris, you guys are cool and all but I prefer Jacob (pls don't kill me)
"He's already fucking dead, stop rubbing this in my face! Go dig out his corpse if you love him so much." - Keith
This post will be detailing my experience playing the android version of Duality vn (courtesy of @dualityvn !), specifically my first playthrough of it!
So of course-
THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE CURRENT STATE OF DUALITY VN
Without further ado, lets get started!
DATE I:
Our first date is very similar to the demo, which if you havent played, what are you doing here? Go play that-
Anyways, we scurry around like a wet rat until we crash into the flower shop where Keith works at! After some friendly chatter I am presented with 3 plants:
An aloe vera, a peace lily and a spider plant
After a bit of contemplation and photo references because I dont buy plants often, I ultimately end up with the spider plant!
After our brief encounter, we scuttle to work and have to deal with Jacob not understanding how Im an introvert and far more likely to get kidnapped than he is-
We later scurry back home and, of course, find Tenebris in our apartment-
Yeah SPOOKY was very happy to see him too, she was with me as I was playing-
Anyways, we call it a weird date which gets him flustered before he gets a headache and vanishes into the darkness and I never see him again...
Is what I would say if this was the demo!
DATE II:
Now THIS is where I was starting to get anxious, I didnt know what to expect from this point on- but nonetheless, we put our big bitch pants on and get ready to go to the flower shop in hopes of seeing Keith again
And that we do! But he's getting harassed by some Karen and I REFUSE to let him fight demons by himself, so of course I interfere to which Tenebris has my back because he helps me out when this salty Yubaba from Spirited Away lookin ass bitch wont BACK OFF
Anyway, Tenebris kindly offers an explanation after Keith's shift ends, cue a timeskip where Ten bolts to us at the speed of sound and we have a nice talk in the local public park
WHEN HE TOLD ME WHAT HE WAS I GOT WHIPLASH MAN
On one hand, it makes sense, but on the other Im still surprised and feel like an idiot for not thinking of it sooner
I REALLY dont want to spoil this if you're interested in playing yourself, even though this post is full of spoilers-
ANYWAY
We big each other goodbye after a while and we bump into this scary looking 7 foot BEHEMOTH of a mountain man which is clearly threatening us-
So after we bolt away, running like Woody from Toy Story style, we bump into someone else unexpected...
Jacob! The only time Im happy to see him! /JOKE /SILLY
But he's clearly interested in being nosey because he's descibed as insistent and curious as he asks us questions about why we look like we saw a ghost
I decided to not risk anything and immediately flee which I wasnt expecting to be so easy because usually games force me to talk to characters even if I dont like em-
Nonetheless, once we scurry home our troubles have no end as my beloved plant has turned into a bloodthirsty demon so I IMEDIATELY get to picking up a weapon. With a heavy heart and my only weapons being a broom and a knife, I turn on the lights to see...
Nothing...
It made me feel kinda stupid but hey, if im dying in this game, Im not gonna just sit down and take it. Despite my suicidal jokes, I actually like being alive, plus who knows, maybe our plant turned into some demon looking thing cause a fae is pissed off I took its home or smth
With that, its the end of date 2...
DATE III:
Its a new day and despite everything, I'm feeling optimistic as I get dressed up all nice and open the door to see...
Keith dressed in his usual outfit...
To say I wanted to jump off a bridge is an understatement /JOKE
No big deal! I wanna be dressed to impress anyway!
So we make it to this FANCY yet apparently affordable restaurant and have a nice chat! But this waitress seems a bit too friendly with Keith...
Anyway, our lighthearted chatter is interrupted by Keith locking in on my face as i think he lowkey regrets going on a date with me-
At this part, I GENUINELY thought all of my efforts were going in the trash, that I payed too much attention to Tenebris and ended up ignoring Keith as a result, that I was immediately going to get a bad ending...
But it turns out, he just wanted to know if im a quitter and Im about as stubborn as a mule so yk I dont give up babey<3
Near the end of our date the waitress decides to gIVE HIM HER NUMBER??? Whole OTHER level of disrespect to give your number to someone that is CLEARLY on a date, but Im curious to see what he does with it and he throws it out like a good boy✨
Anyway, after our lovely date, Keith seems oddly skittish and anxious, like he REALLY doesnt want me going home alone-
So we walk together! He lovingly drops me off as Im left brainrotting before some loser pulls some shennanigans at my door. I however, decided to ignore it because you CANNOT make me go downstairs and look, I may be stupid but not an idiot, Nightmare /silly
But things change when the noises come from inside my house...
I end up opening the cupboard to find...
A decapitated head.
At this point, Im losing my shit and immediately grab a weapon, locking myself in the bathroom as I call the cops, who take their SWEET ASS TIME TO SHOW UP...
But then we get another problem...
They dont find anything, there is no decapitated head, not even a single drop of blood, NOTHING.
Its clear they think we're delusional, so, I dont think we can depend on them if something like this happens again...
And then I get hit with something else...
A TO BE CONTINUED SCREEN
LIKE- I KNOW THE GAME IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT BUT DAMNIT IT WAS SO GOOD AND IM HUNGRY FOR MORE
But with that, its the end of date 3...
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Duality vn was a very fun yet immersive experience! I tried to go into this game with as little guides as possible and pretending that I dont know them because its my favorite way to play!
I appreciate that they're truly very sweet and kind with MC, its really evident that they would never lay a hand on us even though they're obviously insane
I also appreciate that we have the option to pick up a weapon, considering I've played many MANY otome/romance themed games, I'm usually reduced to someone meek and honestly kinda pathetic so its a nice change of pace! And also implies that I will probably have to use this in the future even if I never got to actually do anything with it now
As selfish and self centered as this is, these two have seriously taken up a special place in my heart, they're hands down my most favorite yanderes and that's considering Im VERY picky with them
I highly reccomend you to PLEASE play this game if you have the chance to and if you have an interest in yanderes! Support this developer if you can, she's very lovely, and until next time losers
Okay so I know Jacob is dead on the blog BUT! Me personally if Jacob was my real coworker who tries very hard and very unsuccessfully be my friend I would eventually just have a spray bottle labeled « anti Jacob spray » and use it when I get more irritated than usual with him (my irritation would be visible on my face)
That sounds hilarious. You're just gonna spray him like he's a misbehaving pet.
I need more fun facts or smthn like this about the boys and/or side characters
I know that Jacob is dead here but please I need to know about this raspberry bimbo, he's just too cute
I'll do whatever you ask pls I can do good cat impression
Well, I do love begging, you're right about that.
So, here are some fun facts about Jacob!
In his friend group, he tends to be the guy female friends ask to accompany them when they feel unsafe.
It was hard for him to move out from his parents' house and for a while, he lived in one of those vacant apartments with one mattress, a computer and some suitcases with clothes. He's doing much better now.
His least favorite food are bell peppers.
He's taken dance lessons in the past. And he can do a split.
What do people even see in Jacob? Some stupid boring party boy? No thanks I'll take the obsessive/possessive gardener everyday over that because that's someone that would actually make me feel loved
